ADVBRTIS1NG DEVICE.

Application filed June 13, 1914.

To all lulwm Z may concern a citizen ot' the linited States. and a resident of Chicago, in the countsy otl Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in `idvertisin,"r Devices, of which the following: is a specification.

i This invention relates to advertising dcvices. A i

The object ot' the invention is to`,i'novi le an eticctive transparency adveitisingr device in connection with a well known form or type of humidor. comprising a receptacle for water'and an incandescent electric lamp submerged therein tor promoting,r evaporation, constituentparts of which are utilized as parts of said advertising device.- To this end, an advertising;r device ot my invention comprises the various features and details ot' construction hereinafter described and claimed.

ln the accompanying: drawing, in which my invention is fullyY illustrated, Figure l is a perspective view of an advertising device of my invention. Fig. i2 is a-vertical longitudinal, sectional view thereotl on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. :i is a transverse vertical, sectional view thereof on the line 3-3 ot' Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary detail of the lamp `supporting means.

vteterring,T non' to the drawings 1 designates the water receptacle ot' a well ltnown .torni ot' humidor. evaporation ot the water contained therein being promoted by an incandescent electric lamp 2. which, in use. is adapted to be submerged in the ivater contained in said receptacle. In the preferable construction shown, said lamp 2 is removably mounted on the receptacle 'l in such manner that it may be submerged more or less, as more or less evaporation is desired. The means for thus supporting,r said lamp consists of a plate 3 iiine'ed to the reci'fptacle l, preferably to the upper edge o one end thereof, the hinge otsaid plate beingy quite stiti' so that said plate will stay in any adjusted position correspon:liner to more or less submere'ence ol the lamp 2. Said lamp 2 is connected to said plate preferably in such manner that said lamp may be quickly and convenienti)r attached to or detached from said humidor. As sl1o\vn.'said lamp is adapted to be connected to said plate' .by springs 4 secured to said plate 'with their Specification o Letters Eatent.

' tree ends projecting upward, thus forming a spring' clip adapted to receive'the socket 5 ot said lamp.

fis regards its general features, both the construction and operation of the type of humidor described are old and well known and no claim is made to the exclusive use thereof, excepting: as parts or elements thereof are embodied in and form part of' my improved advertising device as 'I shall e5 now describe.

hiui'iported on the vessel or receptacle l, as a base, is a skeleton frame (i, which is adapted to receive a plate or panel '7 of transparent or translucent material, on which is reproduced or depicted any desired advertisement, as indicated. Preferably said plate or panel 7 is clear glass and the advertisement may be. applied directly thereto in the form of a decaicolnania or transfer nictu1'e,'but is preferably printed or en graved on a separate sheet of paper 'pasted or otherwise secured thereto. As shown, 4said. traine 6 is provided with marginal flanges 8 which define a seat for the plate or panel 7 8O and said frame is supported on rods 9 secured to the corners ot the'receptacle 1 and which project above the. top of said receptacle, the rear .rods projecting somewhat higher than the front rods, thus supporting the trarne (i and plate or panel'7 in inclined position.

ii'iththe described construction, it is obvious that the lamp 2 will be located directly beneath the plate or panel 7,y thus forming a transparency which will bring out the ad 4vcrtisen'ient on said plate or panel very con spicuously. Also, said plate oifpancl T vvill t'orin in effect a cover for the 'receptacle l and vvill prevent articles, as cigars, :from Q5 falling;r into the saine.
